Sailing from Greece to Sicily In the past seven months, we’ve sailed from Gibraltar to Malta. From Malta to Sicily and from Sicily to Greece hitting mainland Italy. We also made a few quiet stops in Turkey too – I say ‘quiet’ because we didn’t notify officials that we where there as our stay was[Read More]

I’ve lost track of how many Greek Islands I’ve been to this year – maybe 25 or 30. Earlier this year my husband, Simon, daughter, Sienna (age 4) and I sailed around the Ionian Islands, through the Corinth Canal to Athens and then all around the Aegean Sea on our 56’ sailboat. Sailing through Greece[Read More]

As with many of our destinations, I only discover their existence a day or two before I cast my eye’s on them Methoni Greece was a last-minute recommendation by my friend, Michalis, and I’m so pleased he gave me the heads-up. Let me back up a bit… After we enjoyed the sights of the Greek[Read More]

Chania Crete A Venetian harbor filled with uniquely decorated tavernas, bars and shops greets you upon arrival. And traces of history can be seen from every angle – an old Turkish Mosque, a Jewish Synagogue, an Orthodox Cathedral and the Venetian wall to name some. Like so many of the Greek islands, Chania has a[Read More]

Did you know that it’s possible to enjoy a bit of sunbathing, hit an amazingly quiet, yet very impressive ruin and take in the scenes of a spectacular valley all in one day? Well, we moored our boat in Rethymno Marina, rented a car and enjoyed a day of sun, sea, antiquity, mountains and valleys.[Read More]

Back in April, Britican and her crew went on an epic weeklong voyage sailing from Gibraltar to Malta – over 850 miles. We saw loads of dolphins, got stormbound in Algeria, had to seek refuge in Tunisia, spoke endlessly about food (especially cannoli’s) and finally made it to the amazing country of Malta. Sailing from Gibraltar to[Read More]

After leaving our anchorage at Spinalonga Island, Crete we headed for Rethymno Marina And after sailing all day the sun was setting so we decided to duck into Bali to anchor rather than push onto Rethymno. Knowing what I know now, it was a very good decision. Chances where than no one would answer the VHF[Read More]

Previous to entering Rethymno Crete on our sailboat I must admit that I never knew the city existed When hearing about Crete from friends, they’d mention beach resorts like Malia, Siteia or Bali. And I have a lovely friend that told me I must visit Chania – Crete’s prettiest and second largest town. Of course I[Read More]

We sailed for 12 hours to get to Agios Nikolaos Marina The marina attendant responded to our VHF call quickly and asked us to radio once we were at the entrance. As soon as our bow turned in, we saw a man waving us down and instructing us where to go. My husband, Simon, easily[Read More]

A few weeks ago, my friend, Carol, emailed me about a tiny island off the Peloponnese called Monemvasia. She said that her family enjoyed a few holidays in the area and it was ‘not to be missed.’ While my husband, Simon, and our esteemed guest from Italy, Admiral Stefano, were discussing a route from Santorini[Read More]
